Autopilots – a new way to put your most important FifthRow flows and apps on a schedule, so they run in the background and deliver structured results without you lifting a finger.

With Autopilots, you can take any process you’ve built or selected in FifthRow – from a complex market intelligence workflow to a regulatory monitoring setup – and set it to run automatically. Each cycle, your inputs are applied, your autonomous team does the heavy lifting, and the output arrives in your inbox, complete with sources and a ready-to-share PDF.

It’s the closest thing to having a team of consultants working quietly in the background – an ambient consulting layer that’s always on, always accurate, and always in your preferred format.

Why We Built Autopilots

When we asked customers what they wanted from recurring runs, the answer was consistent:

  • Less manual intervention – Set once, get insights on schedule.
  • Faster decision cycles – Have fresh intelligence waiting before your next meeting.
  • Consistent quality – Maintain the same structure, sources, and standards every time.

From market intelligence teams tracking competitors and emerging trends to innovation groups automating internal newsletters, the demand was the same – give us a way to run workflows automatically and deliver results where our teams already work.
